Makes you wonder how they know such seeming impossible-to-know things.
Are there also magic potions and incantations available?

CW contesting is far from declining. it is increasing. here is the CQWW stats
for past 10 years.
7442 in 2013 vs 4109 in 2004 shows a big increase.

Ah, the old CW snobbery! When is the notion that paddle or key
generated CW is superior to software and keyer generated code going to
disappear? You decode RTTY with software, don't you? CW is just another
digital mode. Software decoding has brought many new CW ops into CW
DXing and contesting. Software encoding is more accurate and allows many
ops to achieve speeds they could never otherwise achieve. Perhaps you
use a keyer for contesting? Many (most?) contesters do. CW contest
participation is declining. RTTY contest participation is increasing.
Software is every where improving our lives. Time to give up on old ways
and ideas and move into the future.
